Epic Sports Cam Is The Affordable Stunt Video Camera

Ever take a crazy dinger and wish you had footage to relive it?  I know I have.  Like when I crashed my Go Cart in 5th grade and broke my leg.  At the very least, I’d then know how it happened.  The Epic Sports Cam is $160 device that records AVI video at 30 frames per second to an SD card.  It measures  just 3-inches long, weighs 2.5oz, and sports a max rez of 640×480 for video and 5-megapixels for still images.  Although the site is a little sparse on details, there appears to be two packages depending on your type of activity: Action Sports and Real Tree Combo kit.  Each kit comes with waterproof casing and a strap mount and costs $160 and $170 respectively.

Sony Unveils World’s Smallest HD Camcorder: HDR-TG1

Don’t be deceived by Sony’s newest camcorder’s small size; this little fella packs a punch. Standing just 4.7″ tall and measuring 2.5″ deep, Sony’s HDR-TG1 shoots full blown HD video (1920×1080). Unfortunately, Sony in their blundering proprietary ways has only included a Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo or PRO Duo Mark2 memory card input - included is a 4GB PRO Duo Mark2 (available in sizes up to 16GB) card for out of the box shooting. Other features include face detection (as we’ve seen in Digital Cameras), a fold out 2.7″ touch screen LCD and 5.1 Dolby Digital audio encoding.

Expect the Sony HDR-TG1 HD camcorder to ship May 2008 for a reasonable $900.
